When Li Xian Became the Ultimate ‘Station Brother’ at China Open – And Why Overseas Fans Can’t Watch It Smoothly

I was scrolling through my cousin’s Weibo feed yesterday when I stumbled upon Li Xian’s China Open photos – the actor was crouching courtside with what looked like professional bird-watching equipment, capturing tennis stars in action. The images were so crisp you could almost hear the tennis balls whizzing past.

When Li Xian Became the Ultimate 'Station Brother' at China Open - And Why Overseas Fans Can't Watch It Smoothly

My cousin, studying in Toronto, immediately texted me: ‘Why does the video keep buffering for me?’ She described the frustration perfectly – that spinning loading icon that makes you want to throw your phone across the room. I remember feeling the same way last year when trying to watch Chinese variety shows from my dorm in Sydney.

Li Xian’s transformation into what netizens call ‘station brother’ – dedicated celebrity photographers who follow events – is genuinely impressive. The man brought what appeared to be a 400mm lens to capture players like Novak Djokovic. The photos show sweat droplets flying off players’ faces, the intense focus in their eyes, even the way their grip tightens on the racket.

What struck me most was how different this felt from typical celebrity social media posts. No polished studio shots, no carefully curated outfits – just genuine passion for tennis and photography. One photo showed Li Xian’s camera display with a slightly blurred shot, proving even celebrities take imperfect photos sometimes.

The comment section was flooded with international fans sharing their streaming struggles. Someone from London wrote: ‘I miss watching these moments smoothly like I did back home.’ Another from Vancouver commented about giving up after the fifth buffer. It’s that particular flavor of homesickness – not just missing family, but missing those small cultural moments that connect you to home.

Honestly, I never thought I’d be researching streaming technology because of a celebrity’s photography hobby. But seeing how much joy these simple moments bring to overseas Chinese – and how frustrating it is when technology gets in the way – made me realize we’re all just looking for connections, whether through sports, celebrities, or shared cultural experiences.
